When I bought a new pair of shoes a month ago the guy that sold them to me showed me some stretching exercises, which I do in my weekly YOGA class.
They really do help. Especially when you stand feet hip width apart, fold your arms in front of you, holding your elbows. Then,SLOWLY SLOWLY SLOWLY...............bend forward and down.
You let your own upper body weight GENTLY take you down,breathing deeply.
Then just hang there and you will find you can gently get lower but DON`T PUSH IT.
If you can stay bent for up to five minutes, that`s great...............but 2 minutes is ok.
Then, SLOWLY SLOWLY, SLOWLY................UNBEND.................
It is a fantastic stretch.
My other/ better half also goes to our local Leisure club and her PILATES teacher is also a runner.
She said PILATES STRETCHING EXERCISES also help your mobility.
So tonight, instead of a run, I will be going to a pilates class for an hour ( MAYBE A RUN AFTER )
If any one is interested I will report back tomorrow.
